Question

Chambers in human heart

• A. 1 auricle, 1 ventricle
• B. 2 auricles, 1 ventricle
• C. 1 auricle, 3 ventricles
• D. 2 auricles, 2 ventricles

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2 auricles, 2 ventricles

• There are four chambers in the human heart.
• There are two anterior chambers, the auricles which are also called the atrium, and two posterior chambers, the ventricles.
• The auricles are the “receiving chambers” as they receive blood from different body parts.
• The ventricles, on the other hand, are the “distributing chambers”.
  
• The ventricles are larger chambers and also have thicker muscular walls when compared to the auricles
  

So, the correct answer is '2 auricles, 2 ventricles'
